Simon Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 hehehe funny title, eh For what it's worth, many forget that Big Ben actually got some NFL action before he started his 7-0 streak as a starter. He came into the Stiller's secondgame of the year early in the 3rdqrtr(I think) when Maddox got hurt and in his first NFL action he was not good. Threw a bad one that went back to the house, threw another that hit a wide, wide open Corner in the hands and chest with 50yrds of space between him and the house and also threw another pick in his own end during Pittsburgh's only loss of the year. So if you're going to compare Losman's first action with Roethlisbergers first action, make sure you use BigBen's real first action. Cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 I've seen several Losman and Roethlisberger in the same sentence a few times, so I thought I'd give this a little Monday bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit it dead on. Let me add Rothlesburger had an 'attitude' that not only the coaches but players had an issue with during camp. Funny how some playing time improves more than just playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 again, let's see how Losman does after 7 starts. A few key differences: - Roethlisberger is HUGE, JP looks a bit frail. - Poise....looks like Ben's got it, where JP well...he looks a bit skittish (understandable behind this line) Dunno. Already I'm feeling a bit uneasy about our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cya 117406[/snapback] Hmmm...Ben had 1 live NFL game to observe, and JP had 8 games. Seems like JP should have been MUCH more prepared and have a keener grasp of what was going on than Roethleisberger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Roth also has a good Offensive Line. JP has well, our OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 You know what? ALL of us can sit in all the QB and offensive meetings the Bills have. We could all have the entire playbook for 6 months. Guess what? we hit the field....we still suck. PLAYING is the only way. JP has a fire that rothlesburger does NOT have. He is not the same QB. JP will be a lot like Favre on the field. Rothlesburger is more like Manning in most ways. BOTH Can be great QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Poise....looks like Ben's got it, where JP well...he looks a bit skittish For what it's worth, Roehtlisberger looked plenty skittish when he was thrown into his first game trailing on the road against a good defense. Ben had 1 live NFL game to observe , and JP had 8 games. Seems like JP should have been MUCH more prepared and have a keener grasp of what was going on than Roethleisberger C'mon now cincy, you know better than that. You can read the manual as many times as you want, but it ain't gonna help you when you get behind the wheel. Cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICE Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Good point. My daughter just got her permit. I guess because she passed the written test I should just toss her the keys huh? Huh? what is that? Oh you mean she must actually drive to gain EXPERIENCE? Oh ok.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester43 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 the bottom line is that TD tried like hell to get ben and he couldn't (or so it has been said). so i guess it's a moot point. i know i wanted ben all along but i knew it wasn't happening. and realistically, if he HAD come here we would all think he sucked by now because he would be struggling like hell behind this clusterf--- of an offensive line.

Simon Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 My daughter just got her permit I'm one year away from that and don't know if I've ever dreaded anything so much in my life.

Cya 118605[/snapback] It certainly can't hurt to read the manual - the knowledge is generally beneficial when you get behind the wheel, Simon. The meat of the issue is that JP had a college rep as being a self-serving snot, and Ben R did not. And the snot now has a contract that drips with dollar bills. Think he will change?

sweet baboo Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 man...i dunno how you guys can keep arguing about this last night's loss has me emotionally beat all i can do is hope that MM starts Losman this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Roethlisberger is the second coming of Jim Kelly .TD blew it he should have given away the shop to get him .JP will not even be a close second .Its entirely possible that the Seetler will be in the Super Bowl. Indy has a power house offense but the the Steelers have it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
